First off, i love CMC triggers in my ARs. Theyre light and crisp and have a short reset. This is much the same, however installing this trigger is kind of an endeavour. Maybe you will have an easier time than I, if so, im very glad for you.
You will most likely need a full auto safety, as a semi auto safety will probably contact the aluminum housing, and not work due to the trigger-safety interface surface being a different design altogether. You will not be able to use a retaining plate, and you must remove trigger from housing before dropping it in. You cannot remove the safety without having to disassemble the trigger either. I used the AK master mount FA safety and had to remove material from the trigger housing to clear the safety bar, as the safety bar was contacting the trigger housing and gouging out material. I also had to file some material off the bottom of the housing under the rear set screw to get proper pin alignment, and even then the rear pin took some fandangling to align before i could tap it into place as well. For those who may be considering this trigger, if you dont want to do any fitting, this isnt the one for you.
Otherwise it is a nice trigger, it is both smooth and crisp with 2/3 to 3/4 the takeup and reset of the factory trigger in my PSAK. However there is no discernible wall and its a guess as to where it will break, but its still more predictable than the factory trigger. In the future, i would probably go with a more traditional style trigger

Got this for my PSAK Alpha "build". Installed as expected. 2 small screws hold beam to folder, seems like a weak point to me, but i dont forsee the need to ever mortar the rifle. Folder has a little play in it, and isnt much of a 2 hand operation for a right handed person. Fully adjustable comb height, and buttpad is adjustable vertically as well. As always, MI makes a quality product.

Got this to install the MI Alpha fixed beam stock on my PSAK and it installed in a couple of minutes. The PSAK rear trunion is modular so the tang is a separate piece and did not need to be cut off. MI offers a model of this pic adapter that negates cutting the tang anyway.

Small and lightweight addition to a railed dust cover. Would be better if redesigned with a square recoil lug and a little tighter fit on the rail's dovetail shape, but mine is on solid, so i cant complain too much. Also peep is somewhat coarse, wouldnt hurt to have a slightly smaller diameter peep, can fix that with some testors flat black model car paint. Use blue loctite on screw.

Installed this on a PSAK 101, used some left over midwest industries blue loctite on each screw. Angle can be adjusted fore or aft for individual preference. Not many rounds on it yet, but has not come loose.

Got this for my PSAK 101 and after some careful dremel work it fit tight enough that I had to wiggle it to remove it. Tricky part was the handguard retainer, that was pretty tight to close the lever the first time. I had previously installed a TWS dogleg gen 3 dust cover, but hindsight being always 20/20, if you want this rail, and a railed dust cover, just get the alpha dust cover to match. Still, no regrets, rifle looks clean and feels fantastic. But the bottom mlok segment is quite narrow, so a vertical grip hangs off the sides quite a bit. Maybe a minimalist handstop is in my near future.
